Power Solutions, LLC is proud to offer UPS management solutions from leading manufacturers, including Schneider Electric, Eaton, and Vertiv. These solutions include enterprise DCIM platforms, dedicated UPS management software, cloud-based monitoring services, and network management hardware.
Unexpected downtime is preventable. The right UPS management software gives you real-time visibility across your entire power infrastructure — from a single UPS to hundreds of distributed sites, with software and service options that can be monitored by you and your employees or by the manufacturers themselves.
In today’s data centers power usage and monitoring are important for server health, data center efficiency and your bottom line. The UPS management portfolio that we offer consists of software, network management cards, and peripherals for UPS management, monitoring, and safe system shutdown for your data center infrastructure equipment. We can help you choose the most appropriate management and monitoring solution for your equipment.
Whatever your UPS management and monitoring needs, Power Solutions can help you find the best solution.
A: UPS management software focuses specifically on your uninterruptible power supplies — giving you real-time status, battery health, load levels, and automated shutdown capabilities in the event of a power failure. It’s the right tool if your primary goal is protecting servers and equipment from outages.
DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software does all of that and more. It gives you a unified view across your entire data center infrastructure — power, cooling, space, and assets — and is typically used in larger environments where managing capacity, energy efficiency, and multi-site operations is a priority.
If you’re unsure which is right for your environment, our team can help you assess your requirements and recommend the most appropriate solution.
APC and Schneider Electric offer several monitoring and management options depending on the UPS model and your infrastructure. APC Remote Monitoring uses network connectivity to provide visibility into UPS status, battery health, and load levels from a central dashboard. PowerChute Business Edition provides device-level monitoring and graceful shutdown capabilities for servers connected to APC UPS systems. Network Management Cards can be added to compatible APC UPS units to enable SNMP-based monitoring and remote management.

A: In many cases, yes. Several of the platforms we supply — including Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT and Eaton’s Brightlayer and Intelligent Power Manager — support monitoring of third-party UPS units alongside their own hardware, using standard protocols like SNMP and Modbus. The level of visibility and control available for non-native devices does vary by platform and UPS model, so it’s worth discussing your specific estate with us before committing to a solution. We’ll tell you honestly what’s possible and what the limitations are.
EcoCare for Single Phase UPS is a Schneider Electric service program available through authorized partners like Power Solutions. It provides proactive maintenance and monitoring for single-phase APC Smart-UPS systems, including battery replacement, firmware updates, and technical support. EcoCare is designed to extend the life of single-phase UPS installations and reduce the risk of unexpected failures.

A: Eaton PredictPulse is a cloud-based remote monitoring and predictive analytics service that goes beyond standard UPS status monitoring. Rather than simply reporting current conditions, PredictPulse continuously analyzes operational data from your Eaton UPS units and uses that data to identify early indicators of potential component failure — before a fault actually occurs.
This predictive approach means your team can address developing issues during planned maintenance windows rather than responding reactively to unexpected failures. PredictPulse is delivered as a managed service, with Eaton’s own team monitoring your equipment and proactively alerting you to concerns — making it particularly well suited to organizations that want professional oversight of their power infrastructure without expanding their internal team.
EcoStruxure IT is Schneider Electric’s cloud-based data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platform. It provides real-time visibility and analytics for Schneider Electric and APC UPS systems, cooling equipment, and racks – allowing facilities and IT teams to monitor device health, analyze trends, receive alerts, and make informed decisions about capacity and maintenance. EcoStruxure IT is particularly valuable in multi-site environments where centralized visibility across locations is needed.

NetBotz is a Schneider Electric security and environmental monitoring platform that works alongside APC UPS and data center infrastructure. It provides sensors and camera-based monitoring for temperature, humidity, water, access, and intrusion – giving operators a comprehensive view of both power health (via UPS monitoring) and physical environment health in one integrated management view.

A: Vertiv Trellis is an enterprise Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform designed for organizations that need unified visibility and control across complex or large-scale critical infrastructure environments. It brings power, cooling, space, and asset management together in a single platform, with real-time monitoring, capacity planning tools, and reporting capabilities built for data center operations teams.
Trellis is best suited to larger environments where managing infrastructure at scale — across multiple systems, zones, or sites — is an ongoing operational requirement. If you’re managing a smaller environment and primarily need UPS monitoring and shutdown protection, a dedicated UPS management tool is likely a more appropriate and cost-effective starting point. Our team can help you assess which level of solution fits your current environment and future growth plans.
A: Eaton offers two distinct software products for power infrastructure management, and choosing between them comes down to the scope of what you need to manage.
Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) is focused specifically on UPS monitoring and management. It gives IT and facilities managers centralized visibility of their UPS estate, automated shutdown capabilities, and support for both Eaton and third-party UPS units. It’s the right tool if your priority is protecting equipment from power failures and maintaining UPS health.
Eaton Brightlayer Data Centers is a full DCIM platform that goes considerably further — bringing power, cooling, space, and asset management together in a unified view. It’s designed for data center environments where capacity planning, energy efficiency, and infrastructure lifecycle management are ongoing operational requirements.
If you’re unsure which is right for your environment, our team can help you assess your requirements and recommend the most appropriate solution.
